Swansea man jailed after police find massive cannabis haul in garden shed
South Wales Police officers raided Jason Lewis’s property on November 18 last year following intelligence that it was being used for the “large-scale supply” of cannabis.
Swansea Crown Court heard the search uncovered 20kg of cannabis worth around £95,000 hidden in bags and boxes in a garden shed. Police also seized cannabis resin valued at £10,000, diazepam tablets, an extendable baton, and £18,000 in cash – including £1,520 in £20 notes concealed in a shelving unit.
Prosecutor Emily Bennett told the court officers executed the search warrant just before 7am after receiving intelligence about large-scale drug supply at the address.
Lewis, of Pentregethin Road, answered “no comment” to all questions in his police interview. He later pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis with intent to supply, possession of cannabis resin with intent to supply, possession of diazepam with intent to supply, possession of an offensive weapon in a private place, and possession of criminal property.
The court heard Lewis has six previous convictions for 11 offences, including two cannabis supply offences from 2012 for which he received a 12-week suspended sentence.
Sentencing Lewis, Judge Huw Rees said:
“Whether he continues to involve himself with drugs was a matter only for him,” but warned that “if the defendant does continue offending, his sentences would only get longer and longer.”
Lewis will serve up to half his 32-month sentence in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community.

Swansea woman and ex‑husband jailed after cocaine bust
Dramatic footage released by South Wales Police shows the moment Lisa Regan, 53, from Portmead, Swansea, was arrested as she stepped off a plane — bringing down a drugs empire she ran with her ex‑husband.
Regan and Phillip Jones, 44, from Brynhyfryd, Swansea, oversaw a cocaine supply chain that flooded Swansea and Ammanford. Investigators found images on their phones showing Jones cutting up a kilo of cocaine, while the pair laundered their profits through a café in Blaenymaes.
At Swansea Magistrates Court in October, Jones admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine, two counts of possession with intent to supply, concealing criminal property and driving while disqualified. He was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison. Regan admitted similar offences and was handed seven years and four months.

He admitted multiple offences including supply of cocaine, crack cocaine and cannabis, possession with intent to supply, and possession of criminal property. He was jailed for six years.

“Between them, Lisa Regan, Phillip Jones and Tracy Lewis were responsible for flooding our local communities with significant quantities of Class A and B drugs.
“They thought they were above the law – but they will have been devastated to discover their operations weren’t as impenetrable as they thought. Their removal from society has made our streets far safer and better off.”
